Individual urban transportation

It looks like Segway has opened the door to new forms of urban transportation. I came across this Toshiba model when doing my daily news reading. The caption pretty much says what it is but I was wondering if anybody has more info.

Intelligent trikes
A woman poses with half-scale models of Japanese electronics giant Toshiba's prototype of a scooter-like tricycle, which can communicate with other vehicles using LED headlights that flash several million times a second, at the company's headquarters in Tokyo yesterday. The flashing headlights enable the vehicles, which Toshiba is expecting to commercialize in about 10 years' time, to communicate by receiving and transferring information to help navigation and avoid collisions.
